how can I mirror an LV if i did not choose the option of 2
copies when I created the LV? i may need to replace the SSA disk or
PV and one of the LV is not mirrored. How can make a copy of the LV
so when the drive needs to be replaced I have an online copy..i will
definitely make backup, but how can I mirror the LV?

Thanks
